SG13 would like to notify you of the status of the request on the assignment of a
reserved label value for MPLS OAM packet identification.  We received some
suggestions from the RFC editor on the Internet-Draft requesting the code point
assignment which we submitted initially.  We have submitted a revised Internet-Draft
(draft-ohta-mpls-label-value-01.txt) according to RFC2434 based on the latest
situations of the related Recommendations.
